Quick Quotes

Q. Is 18 one of the more difficult finishing holes?

MATTHIEU PAVON: Yeah, definitely. The course has shown how good it is for like Ryder Cup, French Open. I think 15, 16, 17, 18 are one of the toughest stretches we can find on tour. So definitely a tough one to finish with.

Q. And I imagine you have a little more experience than other players. Is it the type of hole that no matter how many times you play it, it can rear its ugly head and beat down a little bit?

MATTHIEU PAVON: A hundred percent. This is almost maybe the toughest hole I have ever played because you have two very demanding shots to hit. First, like the tee shot, it's quite tight if you miss in the rough you're going to be in a tricky position and then the second shot, depending where is the pin, it's a tough one, too.

So yeah, I think it's overall a very tricky hole, a very difficult one and no matter how many times you play it, never gets easier.
